I was cruising in my Stingray late one night
when an XKE pulled up on the right
and rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
and challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "youre on, buddy, my mills runnin fine
lets come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine
Ill go you one better if youve got the nerve
lets race all the way to dead mans curve.
Dead mans curve
Dead mans curve
Wont come back from dead mans curve
The street was deserted late Friday night
we were buggin each other while we sat out the light
we both popped the clutch when the light turned green
you shoulda heard the whine from my screamin machine
I flew past LaBrea, Schwabs, and Crescent Heights
and all the Jag could see were my six taillights
he passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
but I pulled her out and there we were
at Dead mans curve
Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve.
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve.
I know Ill never forget that horrible sight,
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right
wont come back from dead mans curve
Dead mans curve, Dead mans curve
Dead mans curve, Dead mans curve
Dead mans curve, Dead mans curve
